Jakobsson Lamp Pine Floor Lamp by Yamagiwa

Jakobsson Lamp Pine Floor Lamp by Yamagiwa — It brings a soft, lantern-like glow to eye level, which is exactly where a sitting room wants it.

Designed by Hans-Agne Jakobsson in the 1960s and made in Japan by Yamagiwa.

The Design Story

Yamagiwa describes the Jakobsson collection as bringing out the full potential of pine: thinly sliced wood, grown slowly in Europe’s cold climate and dried naturally for a long time, with beautiful tight growth rings. The floor lamp is the tallest member of the family, made in Japan by craftspeople who assemble each piece with care.

Why You’ll Love It

It brings a soft, lantern-like glow to eye level, which is exactly where a sitting room wants it. The wood shade looks warm even in daylight. The foot switch is a small, practical pleasure. And because the pine darkens slowly, the lamp becomes richer in color over the years.

Made for Real Life

Give it a dry room (no bathrooms or steamy spaces), a steady, level spot and some clearance from anything flammable. We suggest a soft, dry brush once the lamp has cooled, with no water or sprays on the wood. Complete the look with Jakobsson Large Pendant, Jakobsson Large Table Lamp, Jakobsson Small Table Lamp.

Questions We Hear Most

What kind of light does the Jakobsson Floor Lamp give off?

A warm, reddish-orange glow filtered through thin pine that shows the wood’s fine grain, closer to a lantern than to a reading lamp.

Who is the designer behind the Jakobsson Floor Lamp?

Hans-Agne Jakobsson (born 1919) was a Swedish lighting designer who started out as a carpenter and founded his own company in 1951; his lamps in wood and natural materials became mid-century classics.

Will my Jakobsson Floor Lamp match the photos exactly?

Not exactly: Yamagiwa notes that natural pine varies in grain and color from lamp to lamp, and the wood deepens in tone over time.

Where does the Jakobsson Floor Lamp work best?

Indoors only (IP20), beside a reading chair, at the end of a sofa or in the corner of a bedroom. Keep it out of bathrooms and humid spaces.

What pairs well with the Jakobsson Floor Lamp?

Other pieces from the same series: Jakobsson Large Pendant, Jakobsson Large Table Lamp, Jakobsson Small Table Lamp.

When will my Jakobsson Floor Lamp arrive?

It leaves our warehouse within 2–3 business days of your order.

Why We Love It

Few designs explain Scandinavian warmth as simply as a Jakobsson Lamp: wood, light and nothing else. Since 1923 the Tokyo company has built lighting together with architects and designers, and today it is the hands behind both the Jakobsson Lamp and the Mayuhana collection.
